Balanitis and balanoposthitis
Urol Clin North Am.

Abstract
Balanitis is an inflammation of the glans penis. There are several etiologic agents, including bacterial and yeast infections, parasitic infestations, and trauma or irritants. Plasma-cell balanitis and balanitis xerotica obliterans are two distinct clinical entities. The authors review the clinical and pathologic features and the treatment options for these conditions.
